Vocal or Instrumental ? .

Yes thats the one . Thought i had not dreamt it , Thanks Graham

I think i remember where this was from it was not a film piece , but a interview i think on SoulGuy radio with T im Ashenbende talking about the artists he had met. Her real name was Gardenia Barnes. Sorry for any confusion .

Almost certain i,ve seen a film piece on the web talking to i either Dena Barnes daughter or sister which confirmed she was dead . Think the said piece was about Duke Browner and his productions , can,t remember where the fook it was though.

.This has been a fave of mine since the seventies, tlme has not diminished it's greatness to my ears, the LP from which it came is also a classic. THE DRAMATICS = NOW YOU GOT ME LOVING YOU.

Could post up hundreds , but i'll settle for these two JOHNNIE TAYLOR = CHANGES and LITTLE MILTON = LET ME BACK IN , two powerhouse records and both cheap. JOHNNIE TAYLOR = LITTLE MILTON =

As far as i'm aware only ever recorded at Motown by the Isleys the Temps and Bobby Taylor .

Very sad , a unique voice .R.I.P. Norman. Chairmen Of The Board = Hold On I'm Comin To Save You

A wonderful artist who has made records across the whole spectrum of soul music . This one is one of my many faves from this great soul man. Bobby Patterson = Recipe For Peace .

Aretha Franklin = I can't see myself leaving you . Is it crossover ,or is it deep, who cares its bloody great.

Great stuff , very moving , thanks for posting it .

Maxine Brown = One step at a time . My all time fave from this wonderful artist , her CD on Kent is regular play in my laser licker.

Surprised nobody,s mention James Bounty , Prove Yourself a Lady , breathless stuff but bloody wonderful.

Also done to good effect by Clarence Carter.

Al Wilsons version is fantastic .

Anyone with Spotify can have a listen now .

Classic tune the intro induces goosebumps everytime i hear it , all time classic .

My all time fave LP is DORIS DUKES I,M A LOSER . Awesome LP but not for the faint hearted , as a LP collector there are hundreds of LPS i keep going back to but even though i,ve owned the DORIS DUKE LP since the seventies it still moves me to this day . Great songs , great singer , great production pure DEEP SOUL perfection .

Ocean Front LP track .

I Assume it got a single release if not it can be found on MOTORCITY MEMORIES , its pretty dire and predictable as are most Levine produtions Memories And Souvenirs by Freda Payne is nice though .

Frank Wilson

I first came across the term when it was used by Rod Dearlove in Voices From The Shadows , to describe records from 68 onwards to mid seventies. Records of midtempo with strings .

Also done to good effect by Dusty Springfield . Seem to think the Fantastics also recorded it as well.

The Blossoms were the favoured back up vocalists of producer Johnny Rivers , so Darlene Love could be a suspect .

Fantastic LP also , but as stated no credits on the sleeve .
